    Trust Worthy and Friendly Operator

    We were amazed with all the tours we booked (also did Rihno walk/game drive, and airport tranfer). Each tour was on-time and well organized. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely recommend Boris Tours as the operator is responsive in communication and provide excellent customer service !!!

    Amazing experience!

    Our guide was Mabuto, he was so knowledgeable and well experienced. He was able to explain so much to us - even showing us that a giraffe was pregnant and in labour! Unfortunately we didn’t see any cats, but we knew there was no guarantee. We saw elephants, giraffe, zebra, kudu, puku, impala, baboons, crocodiles, hippo and various birds! The boat trip was exceptionally good! An absolutely wonderful experience — highly recommended! Mabuto was AMAZING! Thanks so much guys!!

    Chobe Day Trip -Botswana: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.

    How much does Chobe Day Trip -Botswana cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chobe Day Trip -Botswana take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Livingstone is not rushed.

    Is Chobe Day Trip -Botswana worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chobe Day Trip -Botswana?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chobe Day Trip -Botswana suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe Day Trip -Botswana?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Livingstone can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe Day Trip -Botswana start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Livingstone within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Livingstone?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Livingstone?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Livingstone?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Chobe Day Trip -Botswana?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Visa. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chobe Day Trip -Botswana include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 37 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chobe Day Trip -Botswana offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chobe Day Trip -Botswana?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Chobe Day Trip -Botswana wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Chobe Day Trip -Botswana if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Livingstone. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
